路As we start our second week of isolation (following my daughter catching the dreaded virus), I thought I'd share a few pics of some the watches I've been lucky to accumulate in recent years.
First up, a small collection of three vintage Omega Speedmasters. No prizes, but I'm sure folk here will be able to put them in date order:
First up, is the 105.003-64 'Ed White':
Whilst there may be an opportunity to buy the recent new edition of this watch from Omega, I think I prefer the vintage one. What do you think?
Second, from 1967, a transitional 145.012-67:
And, finally, from my birth year (and my first vintage Speedmaster), a 145.022-69:
I've enjoyed learning about these Speedmasters over the last six years or so. A lot of that information has come from members here and I'm very grateful to you. I've also enjoyed the Speedmaster 101 book (last year's Christmas present from the Mrs); and, of course, there are great websites online including the definitive https://speedmaster101.com.
When I began collecting watches I never anticipated being able to own watches such as these. They are all long term keepers. I've enjoyed educating my two sons (less success with my three daughters!) about these watches and their history.
Finally, a couple of wrist shots of two of the watches that I enjoy wearing occasionally:
